my mom and I went to kauai recently, our first day there we went to a fruit stand and immediatly filled our hotel room with pineapples and papayas and tiny bananas and limes. it looked like carmen miranda had exploded.

every morning we had this, papayas filled w yog. and toast w guava jelly and kona coffee. so good. sitting on our little balcony, cell phones and computers turned off, a million miles away from work and mail and car alarms, and for a little while all was well.
